I'm curious as to what people consider the best age to marry. My boyfriend and I want to get married. We are both nineteen. He'll be twenty in December. But we know what we want so we're fine with it. I am, however, curious to know what others think about marrying young.

I don't think that there is necessarily a "best age" to get married. I was married at 27 because I thought it was time. Well I am 30 and now divorced. I am now in the best relationship that I could have ever hoped for. The right age to married is when you meet the right person. You might not be meant to meet the love of your life until you are in your 30's. But some people feel like they HAVE to be married by a certain age. I think that is why so many people end up marrying the wrong person.

I was 23. I think it is really an invidual situation. Some people are more mature than others, some peoples financial status is different. There are people who got married at 17 that stay married longer than people who got married at 30. Certainly, marrying young has it's obsticles. You are just becoming independant, yet you will be married so you can't just go about your business and do whatever you want. You have to compromise on alot of decisions and budget your money well and be careful of credit cards because they WILL come back to haunt you as you get older.

I was 20 when I got married my husband was 28. We have been together married for 3 years now. Whats ment to be will be. Weather you get married now or later if you two are ment to be together then you will be. I would have to say its not really about the age but where you are in your life. If you have a place to live and cars to drive with jobs to go to then your better off then if you don't.

the biggest question is, how are the two of you going to provide for yourselves? unless your combined income will be at least $30k you are in for a rough ride, and that's after you set up household. the biggest mistake young marrieds make is getting into a log of debt. practice delayed gratification, save your money and pay cash for things with the possible exception of a house and car. financial problems are the #1 cause of divorce and can be avoided. also, get your education out of the way before you have kids because once they are in the picture, you have little time to devote to studies. i believe if you truly love eachother you can work these things out, but i strongly suggest you have a plan of action before saying "i do."

The best age for marrage is when you have experienced a bit of life. You should date for 2 years at least. when you first start dating some one you see them through rose colored glasses. By the end of 2 years you should have seen them with all their warts.
